BrightWatch

BrightWatch is a physical security technology integration firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, with a second office in Houston. The company designs and implements enterprise video security and access control systems with AI capabilities for commercial, government and education clients. It operates across Texas and the United States more broadly.

Its work spans cloud-managed, AI-powered video surveillance and access control, alongside intrusion detection, environmental sensors, alarm systems and visitor management. The firm delivers these as full-service integration projects rather than individual products, drawing on partnerships with vendors including Verkada, Eagle Eye Networks, Brivo, Axis, Genetec and Lenel.

BrightWatch serves a range of verticals, among them warehousing, logistics, restaurants, schools, churches, healthcare, commercial real estate and city and county government. The company was recognised as Most Promising Enterprise Security Solutions Provider 2022 by CIO Review.

It was founded and is led by husband-and-wife team Eric and Stacy Aronson, security industry veterans who established the firm to bring greater accountability, reliability and scalability to physical security projects.
